SCG CON Baltimore wrapped over the weekend, and the results are in: a steady stream of winners across Magic: The Gathering, Flesh and Blood, and a few other games, each taking home their share of cash and glory. The tournament featured a mix of $5K and $1K events, plus a $25K showdown and a $20K championship, with decks ranging from Mono-Green Broodscale to Lux, Lady of Luminosity. Here is who walked away with the trophies.
The Magic Winners
Pete Ingram won the Regional Championship with Mono-Green Broodscale. Nick Miller’s recap of the Top 8 and metagame statistics offers more on how the field shaped up.
Tim Sank took the Magic: The Gathering cEDH $5K with Kraum, Ludevic’s Opus and Tymna the Weaver. Walter Perez won the Magic: The Gathering Modern $5K with the same Mono-Green Broodscale deck that carried Pete Ingram to his title.
Kaleb Stevens, Dan Jessup, Noah Braun, and Benji Leaf won their Limited Championship Qualifier pods on Sunday. Each player secured a spot in the larger championship through their performance in the smaller qualifying matches.
Claire Rivers won the Modern $1K Regional Championship Qualifier with Mono-Green Broodscale. Thomson Coffey won Friday’s Magic: The Gathering Legacy $1K with Boros Energy, while Ben Holt took Saturday’s Legacy $1K with Mono-White Death and Taxes (Yorion). Tom Hertfelder won Sunday’s Legacy $1K with Four-Color Beanstalk.
Caleb Mears won the Value Vintage $1K event with Mono-Green Eldrazi. Jason Ye won the Riftbound Showdown Series $25K with Lux, Lady of Luminosity.
Flesh and Blood and Beyond
Brayden Sherman won the Vibes $20K Championship of the Americas. David Reitenbach won the Flesh and Blood $5K Qualifier with Arakni, Huntsman on Saturday, and then repeated the feat on Sunday in the $1K event. The back-to-back victories are a notable achievement.
Jason Tian won the Wonders of the First Sealed $3K. Heather Sorenson and Mark Woodin won the Rush of Ikorr 2v2 $5K event. Leo Berzon won the Bo Jackson Battle Arena Double Mega Sealed $3K.
The Flesh and Blood decklists may become available at a later date, according to the report.
The Pattern That Emerges
The most striking feature of this report is how scattered the wins are. There is no single deck that dominated everything, no one strategy that swept multiple formats. Instead, each winner took a different path to victory, from green creature spawning to energy decks to Vintage’s unconventional builds.
The pattern that does emerge is the strength of Mono-Green Broodscale. Pete Ingram, Walter Perez, Claire Rivers, and David Reitenbach all used that deck to win their respective events, suggesting the strategy remains competitive across Modern and the smaller $1K qualifiers.
What This List Tells Us
These results offer a snapshot of what is currently working in Magic and Flesh and Blood. The list provides the actual deck choices for each winner, so players can see exactly what combinations produced the wins.
The report ends with congratulations to all the winners, and that is the right note to end on. These players put in the work, showed up, and performed. That is worth celebrating.
If you are in Los Angeles on October 9-11, you can see some of these same names competing again at SCG CON Los Angeles, which features the Magic: The Gathering Regional Championship and much, much more. The format lineup will be different, but the spirit of competition will be the same.
The report’s final line, “Congratulations to all of this past weekend’s big winners!” captures the whole story. It is a weekend of small victories, each one meaningful to the person who earned it.
The Prize Breakdown
Here is how the cash prizes were distributed across the weekend:
- Jason Ye won the Riftbound Showdown Series $25K with Lux, Lady of Luminosity.
- Brayden Sherman won the Vibes $20K Championship of the Americas.
- David Reitenbach won the Flesh and Blood $5K Qualifier with Arakni, Huntsman.
- David Reitenbach also won the Flesh and Blood $1K on Sunday.
- Jason Tian won the Wonders of the First Sealed $3K.
- Heather Sorenson and Mark Woodin won the Rush of Ikorr 2v2 $5K event.
- Leo Berzon won the Bo Jackson Battle Arena Double Mega Sealed $3K.
Each event had its own champion, and each prize went to a different player or team. That variety is one of the most interesting things about this report.
The Back-to-Back Story
The weekend’s most impressive individual achievement belongs to David Reitenbach. He won the Flesh and Blood $5K Qualifier on Saturday with Arakni, Huntsman, and then followed that up with the $1K event on Sunday using the same deck. Winning once is hard; winning two tournaments in a row with the same build shows real consistency.
“Congratulations on the back-to-back victories!”
That line, directed at David Reitenbach, sums up the weekend’s spirit. It is the kind of result that stands out, and it deserves the recognition the report gave it.
What Players Can Learn
For those following the formats, the list offers some practical data. Pete Ingram, Walter Perez, Claire Rivers, and David Reitenbach all found success with Mono-Green Broodscale across Modern, the $1K qualifiers, and Flesh and Blood. That suggests the deck has legs across multiple tiers.
Jason Ye’s win with Lux, Lady of Luminosity in the $25K event shows that high-value decks can still perform at the top level. The report does not say whether these decks will continue to work next week, but it does show what worked this past weekend.
The report’s final line, “Congratulations to all of this past weekend’s big winners!” captures the whole story. It is a weekend of small victories, each one meaningful to the person who earned it.
